Creating an Account

When the application is started for the first time the initial window will appear. From here you can create an account which will be used to make a connection between the activeCollab Timer and your activeCollab system.

To create an account, simply fill out the following fields:

  • Account Name - choose the name that you wish. This is not relevant to the connection with activeCollab, so you can pick any name. It’s purpose is just to allow you to differentiate between any different accounts that you may have.
  • API URL - this can be found on your activeCollab profile page under the API Settings tab. Just paste it here.
  • API Key - available from the same page as your API URL. The whole chain needs to be copied here so it can be connected with your activeCollab Timer account.

Now click the Save button and your account will be ready.

Important Note

Please note that API Key will be reset each time you change your activeCollab password. If you change your password, don’t forget to get your new API Key and update it in your activeCollab Timer as well. Otherwise you will not be able to submit time to your activeCollab or make a connection between the applications.
